ISPconfig

Introducton:-

ISPConfig is a free and open-source control panel that helps you manage websites, emails, DNS, and more on a Linux server. It is mainly used by system administrators and hosting companies to make server management easier.

Instead of typing many commands in the terminal, ISPConfig gives you a web-based interface. This means you can manage your server using your web browser – just like using an app or a website.

With ISPConfig, you can:

• Create and manage websites
• Add and manage email accounts
• Set up FTP users
• Configure DNS records

It supports multiple users, so you can allow other people (like clients or coworkers) to manage their own websites securely.
